Dmenu doesn't recognize user defined scripts

Before switching to manjaro i3wm, I was using i3 on Fedora. There, I had a ~/bin/ directory containing symbolic links to a bunch of useful scripts ~/scripts/ and dmenu automatically picked them up. This was not the case with my default Mi3 build. How to have dmenu recognize my own scripts?

In the i3 edition the ~/.bin/ directory is not in your PATH by default.
You can check this out by running echo $PATH in a terminal window.

You can either add this directory to your PATH (see the Arch Wiki), or move your symbolic links to the ~/.local/bin/ directory which should be in your PATH by default.
